GENERAL
Take time to follow the instructions and do
things right the fi rst time. Read all instructions
prior to starting. Before you start, check to see
that you have the correct number of parts. Use
your parts list which is broken down by carton.
The manufacturer reserves the right to revise,
change or modify construction of their product.
CONTRACT INSTALLATIONS
The manufacturer is in no way affi liated with
any professional installer. Therefore the manufac-
turer can assume no responsibility, for errors in
installation by the home owner or said profes-
sional installer. If you have your deck installed by
others, please supervise to be sure they comply
with the proper installation techniques shown.
Their past experience or short cuts may not
cover the latest improvements in our decks. Do
not allow any short cuts of any nature.
LOCAL CODES
Local building code may require obtaining a
building permit and may have regulations on set
backs, barriers, devices and other conditions that
must be followed. Any after market or home built
deck should be built to the local building code
requirements, including load capacity and fencing
requirements.
Local electrical code may require obtaining
a building permit and may have regulations on
setbacks, devices and other conditions that must
be followed.
All electrical outlet connections should be a
minimum of 5 feet from the outside perimeter of
the wall of the pool. From 5-10 feet there should
be either a fi xed connection (outlet box) or twist-
lock connection with a GFCI. Connect power
cords to a 3-wire grounding-type outlet only.
Severe electrical shock could result if you in-
stall your pump or fi lter on a deck. They could fall
into the water, causing severe shock or electrocu-
tion. Do not install on a deck or other surface at,
above or slightly below the top SEAT of the pool.
BARRIER REQUIREMENTS
If the distance from the top of the assembled
pool is less than 48” vertically from the surround-
ing grade, a fence or barrier is needed to surround
the pool with a minimum height of 48”.
A barrier is necessary to provide protection
against potential drowning and near drowning
and is not a substitute for constant supervision of
children.
A barrier is a fence, wall, or a combination
thereof which completely surrounds the swim-
ming pool and obstructs access to the swimming
pool. Barriers must comply with local and national
building codes and the US Consumer Product
Safety Commission.
These are minimum fencing and barrier re-
quirements. Check your local building codes for
other requirements they may request. Optional
fencing kits are available, Please contact your lo-
cal dealer.
If pool covers are used for safety barriers
they should comply with ASTM F 1346 “Stan-
dard Performance Specifi
cation for Safety
Covers and Labeling Requirements for All Covers
for Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs.”
